[Dovecot] doveadm index crashes when indexing shared mailboxes

[W. de Hoog]

Hi,

>> We store our mail archive in a tree of subfolders. I am trying to speed up text searching on our mail archive but when running "doveadm -D -v index -u neil shared/Exalon/Aandeelhouders" the following output is produced:
> ..

After changing the format to sdbox indexing works.
